...Improving Summer School for At-Risk Students to Improve MAP Achievement H Abstract “Race to the Top” have left public education systems searching for ways to make sure students are reaching their highest potential. Because of the importance of accountability issues to school systems, it is important to examine ways to help students reach their potential. One tool school districts use to aid in improving student achievement is summer school. This qualitative study provides an overview of the history of summer school. Additionally, it offers a synopsis of various types of summer programs and at-risk student populations often targeted by summer school. The researcher also offers a review of literature on student learning loss over the summer months. Summer learning programs have the potential to help children and youth improve their academic and other outcomes. This is especially true for children from low-income families who might not have access to educational resources throughout the summer months and for low-achieving students who need additional time to master academic content. Because many students loose learning over the summer and some students need more time on task to master content, participation in summer learning programs should mitigate learning loss and could even produce achievement gains on standardized test such as MAP. Overview One hundred and fifty Title I-eligible students from Chandler Creek Elementary school will enroll each...

...change on action by one character in the novel, I would choose when Moushimi cheated on Nikhil with Dimitri. This would not change the whole novel, only the end portion of the novel. Since she cheated on him very far in the novel, it would change when Nikhil encountered the book by Nikolai Gogol. If perhaps Moushimi did not cheat on Nikhil, They could have been together at Ashimas house and he maybe wouldn’t not stumble upon the book responsible for his name. Although Moushimi cheating on Nikhil was upsetting, I’m glad Nikhil was able to find the book and his fathers note inside. 2. What part of the novel did you have the strongest reaction to while reading? This response could be sadness, anger, excitement or another emotion. Why did you react strongly to that particular part of the novel?...

I did this by buying and collecting books to donate to the libraries that serve Turning Point Academy students in order to increase their reading opportunities and their learning environment. This project has reminded me that reading is a joy that belongs in every one’s life and should be considered a privilege more than as a right. Reading is amazing. In fact, amazing doesn’t even begin to describe how unbelievably valuable reading is in one’s life. The dictionary definition of reading is “the action or skill of reading written or printed matter silently or aloud,” (Webster’s Dictionary). This definition doesn’t adequately describe reading because it does not fully portray the valuable benefits...

...During this past summer, I was given a ton of homework to do. Not an exaggeration. I had a NHD project to do, reading, and two pretty thick packets. Of course, I wanted to enjoy by summer since I was so sleep deprived and stressed throughout the school year, especially during the last half. So I didn’t do it and my mom kept warning me throughout the summer. She kept saying, “you gotta do it. You better not give me an aneurysm.” But, I would just keep saying, “I got it don’t worry I have it all planned out I'll do it later.” She would keep telling me, “Don’t wait til the last minute to do 10-week project and homework. I better not be yelling at you right before school.” I would just say, “don’t worry about it I got this. I'll start a week or so after summer has started.”...

...Television and Children Experts suggest that children should be limited to watching only two hours of television per day to ensure that they get plenty of exercise and family time. Some experts have found that childhood television viewing can cause obesity, high cholesterol levels and smoking in adulthood. I have a four-year-old that loves watching television. If he watches television for an extended period or is too involved with a show he sometimes has accidents and does not want to interact with family. There are also times that my son has behaviors when he cannot watch a certain cartoon. The less time spent in front of the television gives more time for family time. There are some benefits that come from television, but television also has its faults. A child’s health may suffer years down the line from watching an excessive amount of television. Dr. Aric Sigman researched and commented “excessive television watching is linked to difficulty in sleeping, behavioral problems and increased obesity in children.” I can relate to the research of Dr. Sigman; my son already has difficulties with going to sleep at night and has behavioral issues when he does not get to watch what he wants. At night, he wants to watch television until he falls asleep, but if I let him, he will not fall asleep until three hours past his bed time which is at 8:00 pm. Children can begin to have learning problems as they get older. I have seen where parents put their child in front of the television...

...would be summer time is coming soon which means leaving textbooks and broken pencils behind. The Second key point is having downtime which includes looking into the middle distance, kicking at the curb, lying on the grass, or sitting on the stoop and staring at the tedious blue of the summer sky. Another key point is parents have arranged to schedule time and unscheduled times. Also, the key point is a Friday Night which means no homework, no athletic practices, and no after school events. The final key point is a culture of adult distrust which suggests that a kid who is not playing softball or attending science enrichment programs or both is huffing or boosting cars. What the writer intended for the reader to take away from this reading is that summertime is not time for having an overly busy schedule. Secondly, that having downtime is also good because then you could write poetry, compose music or become an actor. Having an arranged schedule means you do not have the free time you need to get other stuff done. Having a Friday night to spend time with friends and family and play games or watch movies is good as well and then you will have less stress about work or school. Having a culture of distrust from parents can cause the children to rebel against the adults and family. I do a connection and disconnection to this essay because I am not a busy student but I do have a busy social life. Also, I keep myself with busy with all my college homework and the class projects.

...The 3rd Summer Reading Camp Across Learning Areas or Project ICARUS which transpired beginning April 6 to April 24, 2015 was a great accomplishment to accord for this year. With the line up of activities to follow through, everyone assigned carried this task with enthusiasm and initiative. The participation and cooperation of the selected pupils as well as their parents was a remarkable contribution to the success of this endeavor. The launching of this program took place at the school ground of South Cembo Elementary school on April 6 at 9:00 AM followed by the orientation and registration of selected 87 pupils to undergo the reading program. During the initial implementation of activities for each grade level under two different categories namely: Abled Readers and Struggling Readers, the expected 100% attendance of the pupils was achieved. Consequently, the implementation of the whole content of the reading matrix was noted to be enjoyable and exciting to the pupils until its completion on April 24. Each day was always to look forward to on the part of the pupils as observed in their daily attendance when they came early ahead of time. Classes started from 9:00 AM to 12:00 noon. Each activity prepared by the teachers was supported with all the materials and instructional aids needed to motivate and raise the interest of the pupils.

...1. What project did you do for you second project? Since we had just finished our second project, I thought that it would be interesting to learn what projects that everyone did and to see how it went. The Fasting project was done by one group member and two other group members did Sabbath project and I did the Service project. We talked about thing that we liked about the project and things that we did not like about the projects. The two members that did the Sabbath project both said that they enjoyed their projects, although they did find it a tiny bit frustrating that during the times that they were trying to commit to their time of Sabbath that was the times that they we most motivated to do homework. The group member that participated in the fasting project said that it was a hard project to stay committed to simply because as a college student you eat when you get a chance or it convenient to eat. I did not find the Service project hard at all simply because I have many opportunities to serve certain people in my life. 2. Did you learn anything about yourself from your project?...
